England o' England - How you light up this Cup
As I stay tuned to tonight’s super important match between England and the once Mighty Windies' I cant help but think of England’s whirlwind campaign this time around.
Its been incredible, its been farcical, its been nervy, its been everything a cricket scribe could ask for and more.
Its mind numbing to think that it actually almost came down to Mr Trott’s shirt. Who would have thought that Mr Trott’s slightly over sized shirt could (almost) be their ticket back home (which they anyways have been threatening to do right from the word go)
A painful hernia, an opening swing bowler who forgot the meaning of the word swing, a brilliant side strain, a tie that should have been nothing but a victory, a victory against the Proteas which was nothing but the latter choking, an Irish whipping and the Bangla dew . Name it and we have seen it.
This England team has been crazy, blame the Ashes , blame the weather, the food, the injuries, but this World cup would have been boring as hell if it wasn’t for them.
Edge of the seat stuff, I do feel for Struass, he does have a mighty heart.
However as I write this, Windies need 21 to win of 42 balls and by getting Russell’s and Sarwan’s wicket they are yet again turning the match on its head.
Holy Crap!!! Prove me wrong and how!!!
England o England…. How did you manage to pull this off yet AGAIN?
